Homer's dad is gay?

Sam,
There's been a thread in the Simpson's newsgroup for a couple of weeks
about Abraham Simpson's sexuality. Some highlights:
As "Queen of the Old West" he daydreams that two gunslingers are shooting
it out for his hand and steps between them, all gussied up in dress,
heels, hose and hat, and says "Stop, boys; you can both marry me!"
When the Simpsons go into the witness relocation program and leave him
behind without his medicine, he changes sex; they go to get his medicine
when they return and a dapper old gent steps up with a bouquet of flowers
and stops them by asking Abraham for a date -- there may be a geriatric
male/male kiss here too.
There's another episode where he reminisces about the 'forties designers
and how "they had real style back then" (and he is not talking about men's
suits).
There have been other similar references, and to be fair, a major Abraham
Simpson episode deals with his falling in love with a woman in the nursing
home named Bea. And I believe the "Love Potion" episode may hint at his
heterosexual side.
Other targets of ambiguous sexual speculation have included Homer,
Flanders, Bart (who teaches Lisa to walk in heels), Marge (who "dates" a
neighbor woman), Chief Wigguns, old man Burns, and *even* Smithers (who
some claim has/had a *wife*, but they have produced no facts yet -- I
always thought he was married to Malibu Stacy.)
D'oh!

friendly. Ever read Jeff & Akbar?
There's a number of Simpsons episodes with gay content. Smithers
kinda came out after a few seasons, Homer once had a gay male secretary, and
Grandpa... well between that membership card and his days dancing in the
chorus line... what more can one say? ;)

Sorry to be picky, but unless Groening has said something else during the
past year, he leaves Akbar and Jeff's relationship ambiguous: When
Groening was asked whether A&J were lovers or brothers he replied
"Whatever offends you more".

He more than likely said that to be humerous, I own most of the Akbar &
Jeff comic strip in the form of various "Life In Hell" books, and they
have lots of blunt gay reference, such as the duo going to a gay bar or
being confronted by a breeder in the park who was angry that they defamed
a nice word like gay, etc...

.....Except Akbar and Jeff have *always* been gay :) Read any of the
'Life is Hell' books, available at your local bookstore. You'll find
strips in which they *say* they're gay :) In many, many ways.
